Color was all the rage at the International Builder and Kitchen and Bath Show this year. From kitchen hoods lined in pink, neon cabinet hardware, exterior and interior hardware coated in blue, red, and green to funky, fun faucets for the kitchen, we saw dozens of exciting ways to dramatically re-vamp your favorite rooms!

At the International Builder and Kitchen and Bath Show, we saw primary and Grayscale shades found on interior and exterior handlesets. A simple detail that makes such a powerful statement! Most interior doors are often painted white and adding the green lever would turn that standard door into an art element. There was even colored quartz (shown below in pastel hues). This application could be used in a kid’s bath, and the pale blue or fuchsia shade atop a painted bath vanity to bring about a monochromatic dream.​xzn

Adding a pop of color in an otherwise neutral room provides an easy transformation that is stylish and surprising. For example, we just completed a home for a client and painted the front door teal. What's great about painting is that if you get tired of the hue you can always paint it another color.

Proving the validity of 2017’s love of color was Pantone, who named Greenery the 2017 Color of the Year, moving away from 2016’s muted Rose Quarts and Serenity Colors of the Year. Like Sublime Homes, you can experiment with bold pops of color by replacing tired upholstery and accent pillows with fresh colors that liven up a room. Before taking the plunge and totally repainting a room, experiment with bold colors by painting an accent wall, door, or even the ceiling!
